"Give me the keys baby, I'm driving." Stepoing outside, Azael grabbed the keys to a black sports car from Jasmine, "I'm going to be your guardian angel. I'm not going to risk you getting into a car accident."
"Huh?, I have been driving for fifteen years." She pouted her lips.
"There's always a first time for everything Jas." He said with a smile, "Besides there's a soul I need to collect. A soul that is way past it's expiring date."
"I...I don't think I need to see that." she protested, but Azael waved his hands in dismissal. He walked over to the passengers seat and opened the door like a gentleman.
Jasmine knew it was pointless to protest. Swallowing her fears she got into the seat and Azael into the driver seat before driving off.
They came to a stop at a luxurious bar. At a single glance Jasmine could tell it was a biker's club. The men In torn leather jackets gave her creepy stares as she got out of the car. Instinctively she held Azael's arms.
"Mr Christian?" One of the bikers with a tattoo covering half his face exclaimed with a suprised look. The last time he saw him was over a year ago.
At the time his boss, Mr Lorenzo was in debt and contemplating suicide. Luckily Mr Christian had saved him and had generously given him some money to kickstart his bar business, or so he thought.
Jasmine on the other hand snapped her gaze to Azael, "Mr Christian?, did that man just refer the devil as Mr Christian?"
Azael lowered his gaze to meet hers and winked mischievously at Jasmine.
"It's good to see you again Lenny. is Mr Lorezno around?, I need to speak with him." Azael asked and Lenny nodded.
"Of course, he'd be so excited to see you again. Please follow me."
"oh I'm sure he will." Azael chuckled and Jasmine winced her brows. She already had an idea of what was going to happen. Azael had come to claim his soul. Mr Lorezno a year ago must had made a deal with him.
Lenny led them through the rowdy crowd. Along the way she got lustful stares from the men. It was then she noticed she could count the women in the bar in one finger. It made her nervous and uncomfortable as she clung tightly to Azael.
"Don't worry about a thing baby, as long as you are with me, they wouldn't dare touch you." Azael said noticing her tensed expression.
They finally reached a red door and Lenny knocked twice before a voice from the other door boomed.
"Who the fuck is it?"
"It's Lenny boss. An old friend is here to see you, I'm sure you'd be surprised when you see him." Lenny said before opening the door.
Cassie saw a naked girl run out of the room with whip marks all over her body. In that instant she knew what kind of person Mr Lorenzo was. A Man who beats women doesn't deserve any pity from her.
"SURPRISE!" Azael jumped inside excitedly with a wide smile on his face. Immediately Lorezno's face turned as white and pale as a ghost.
"NO! NO! NO!" Lorenzo fell to the ground, "You can't.... you can't be here!" he screamed taking Lenny and the bodyguards around him by surprise. "YOU CANNOT HAVE ME! I....I TAKE IT BACK...I TAKE BACK THE CONTRACT WE MADE! I'LL NOT SELL MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL!"
"What the hell has gotten into you boss?, it's Mr Christian." Lenny frowned.
"That... thing is anything but a Christian. He's a demon! HE'S THE DEVIL!" He shouted consumed by fear.
He had kept the whole truth from his closest and most trusted friend Lenny. Azael had really saved him from the brink of death and had offered the world to him for 365 days in exchange for his soul. He had agreed to the deal at the time because he felt there was nothing more to loose.
He has lived his life as a gangster involved in selling off women as slaves to rich powerful men. Either way, he was going to hell. Azael had offered him a chance to live as a king before then.
However, after getting everything he wanted and being worth over a billion dollars, he didn't want to die. Who would want to die while having a billion dollars and spend enternity in hell?, No one.
"Call....CALL FATHER THOMAS!" He yelled at Lenny who had a puzzled look. "Are you fucking deaf?, call father Thomas immediately!" he ordered and Lenny left.
Jasmine shivered in fright, realising this would be her a year from now. There was no escape from it. Her soul was bound for hell.
"No one can save you Lorezno, not your mother, not your father, and certainly not father Thomas. We had a deal. I held up my end of the deal, now it's your turn." Azael smirked wickedly.
Right now, he didn't look like the carefree, easy going flirt, now, he looked like who he said he was. The Devil.
"No! no! I'm not going to hell! NEVER I WONT ALLOW IT!"
"You better duck." Azael said casually to Jasmine as Lorenzo pulled out a shot gun. Jasmine didn't need to be told twice, she ducked under the chair covering her ears as Lorezno fired the first shot.
It suddenly fell silent as Azael dropped to the ground and Lorenzo stood up laughing hysterically. His body guards moved towards Lorezno to check if he was dead.
"HAHAHAHA! DEVIL MY ASS! NOTHING IS INVISIBLE TO BULLETS!" Lorenzo laughed out loud.
Jasmine's heart dropped. Was Azael really dead?, her fear was short-lived as he turned to the side and she gasped finding the bullet stuck between his teeth. He levitated to his feet and spat out the bullet right through the leg of one of the guards, crippling him instantly.
"Im-impossible!" Lorenzo shouted, "How are you not dead?, you should be dead!" He watched in horror as Azael moved with inhumane speed knocking down his six body guards with a blow to the back of their heads. Until there was no one standing between him and the devil.
"Please.... please just give me a little more time. can we...can we make it a two year contract?, I'd do anything you want. Please I have a twelve year old daughter, she can't grow up without her papa."
He went on his knees and pleaded crying like a child while he continually kissed Azael's shoes. "I'd love you! I would worship you Azael! I will become your most loyal servant on earth."
Azael ignored his pleas and snapped his finger. Immediately a fiery scroll appeared and Azael erased his name. "Your time on earth has expired. Now, your soul is mine."
He placed a finger on his forehead and black smoke came gushing out of Lorezno's mouth until he was sucked dry turning him into a corpse that looked to be at least over a hundred years old, after which the fiery scroll disappeared.
Jasmine watched with a horrific expression on her face. She knew this was the fate that awaited her.
"We should get going jasmine, the others wouldn't. take too kindly to killing their boss." He took her hand and in an instant she found her self at the passenger seat of her car with Lorenzo next to her at the driver seat.
How.....did he teleport?
"Now that I'm all finished with my business, it's time to handle yours. We are going to make Ciara and everyone involve pay for what they did to you, I promise." He declared before zooming off.
